Symposium: Disaster Risk Reduction

Date: 14 October 2018

Time: TBC

Hall: TBC

Nepal’s geological setup and meteorological factors make it prone to many natural disasters such as earthquakes, landslides and flood. The country needs to seriously improve on disaster mitigation and implementation policies. Disaster reduction will require enhancing public awareness on disaster preparedness, understanding policy issues, and identify post-disaster reconstruction challenges. This session will discuss disaster related issues from policy and implementation perspectives and suggest disaster mitigation measures.
